Is anyone having delayed text messages while using wifi calling, I was using it all day yesterday and didn't receive my messages until this morning when I turned wifi calling off

Hi,
I am considering to buy a ptel simcard and use their Pay-as-you-go plan for data. I usually have a wifi connection at home/school so I would simply like GrooveIP to work for those times where I may need to make calls when I am away from a wifi network.
I am wondering if this is possible with the Nexus 4 and if the GrooveIP app (or similar alternative) will automatically know to only use wifi when wifi is available and only use data when wifi is not available. Or do I have to do something special with the Nexus 4 or GrooveIP app to enable that functionality?
Thank you

I don't know much about GroveIP but there are apps that let you setup the phone to do exactly what you want it to do. None of which I can't name.

We all know that Wifi calling works on Fi for Tmobile & Sprint. The Question I have is Why doesn't wifi calling work if you're sprint only?
It really doesn't make sense. Does the fi sim have some magical sprint profile. Discuss
I believe WiFi calling on Fi is just like using Hangouts, since your number is actually a Google Voice number. If you have Google Voice, you can use Hangouts to make WiFi calls on Sprint or T-Mobile as well.

Its not. When I look at my fi phone, I don't use the hangouts dialer. Im using the integrated standard dialer. So that's what im trying to figure out, there is something fishy going on here.
T-Mobile WiFi calling us superior to Sprints

The wifi calling on my lgg3 works perfectly fine, the wifi calling on my tmobile work phone works fine. The wifi calling on sprint and tmobile on my project fi phone works great. I know the sim has to contain some profile that enables it for sprint, assuming some kind of VPN tunnel information. On my 6P with my fi sim in wifi calling option is there, sprint sim, option gone.
That's the only thing I can think of. I know when I got into a discussion with fi tech support over why 911 wasn't working properly. You're fi number is carried on tmobile, and sprint gives you a dark number. So its entirely possible that that there is some VPN going on.

I'm aware, but it's my understanding that the Google dialer has Hangout integration, which is why you are required to have Hangouts installed in order to make WiFi calls when using Fi.
I'm going to Uninstaller hang outs and see if it works with out it. I don't use hangouts for anything on fi except talking to my friends. I personally think the fi app is making the magic happen since it handles all the switching pieces.

Uninstalled hangouts. Wificalling still work. Disabled the fi app, breaks fi calling for sprint. Intresting!
I just had a long conversation with a Sprint tech that even went as far as saying maybe a third party app may help....but ....basically, WiFi calling is disabled for 6P (I use Sprint, not fi). It is really disappointing.
You pay for the phone...it should be open to be used as intended. Sprint is preventing us from using our "Unlocked Phones" & "Pure Android" phones and messing with the capabilities. Would that be grounds for a class action lawsuit? Who can we call to get that started?
Hey guys been doing some searching do not have a definitive answer. I know Verizon Wireless recently enabled wifi calling on their network for iOS and select android devices which was back at the end of last year. As Android has native support wifi calling since Lolipop I believe, does anybody know if wifi calling works on nexus 6p with a verizon SIM card inserted? I have read different places its part of advance calling, or you may need the verizon messages app, so conflicting information, my new job provides me a phone with VZW, I am currently on T-Mobile do not want to carry two phones but VZW gets next to no service in my neighborhood, talking 1 or 2 bars of 1X only! Any help would be appreciated.
There is currently no wifi calling on VZW and the nexus 6P unless you use VZW's message+ app.
I'd be surprised if any non VZW Android phone ever gets it.

Thanks! But the wifi calling definitely works with that app installed? I use google voice so SMS isnt what I am looking for as that always works on wifi, I am talking about actual phone calls lol which I know in this day and age is crazy talk
Edit - you mean this app right? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.verizon.messaging.vzmsgs
yeah that's the app. It has a voice call option, I just put the phone in airplane mode and enabled wifi. It would NOT make a call so maybe I have no idea what the heck I'm talking about.
Can anyone tell me if there's a mod that will let me make a video call to another carrier? I paid outright for my phone and it's now carrier unlocked. I still can't seem to make it happen.
Tango is an app that will work..

Hii.
My name is Nayan Sarma. I own a Oneplus 3 from india.
I m using oneplus 3 with reliance jio sim. I would like to know if there is any possibility that i can use it for native video calling without using the data connection. If not why and if possible can somebody guide me in this matter or to related posts or websites. Lyf smartphones under reliance digital uses native video calling without using mobile data connection or wifi. Dont wanna use other apps that are easily available in the playstore that uses quite mobile data.
Thanks in advance and please forgive for my english.
Thanks
